  3. sh4d0wup

    Signing-key abuse and update exploitation framework

  4. ghosthound

    GhostHound is a BloodHound OpenGraph extension that surfaces Active Directory tombstone reanimation as a first-class attack path, enumerating deleted objects via SHOW_DELETED, mapping who can restore them, and revealing when a reanimated identity regains privileged group membership.

    im developing some FOSS cybersec tools lately and im getting some nice feedback so it motivates me, the tools are

    Skewrun -> a tool that solves the Kerberos KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW (Clock Skew Too Great) error, allowing you to run tools like Impacket or NetExec from a Linux attack machine whose clock is heavily desynchronized from the target Windows domain, without requiring root privileges to change the system time. (https://github.com/JVBotelho/skewrun)

    GhostHound -> an Bloodhound opengraph lib that deals with Tombstone reanimation as a BloodHound attack path, enumerating CN=Deleted Objects and who can restore them (https://github.com/JVBotelho/ghosthound), this one even landed in Bloodhound's documentation as community lib
